Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 55 lbs

My rescue pitbull has bumps on her peepee area. Cant tell if they are hurting her or not. She licks it a lot. Shes between 3 and 5 years old the shelter said. She has had puppies but is fixed now. That's all I know about her.

Those look like pustules (like pimples). I suggest you use these medicated pads on the vulva once a day for a week or so. If no improvement then have your vet take a look at her. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5393-douxo-chlorhexidine-3-ps-pads-for-dogs-and-cats-30.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo%20pad+Auto )
